To quote John Cleese,

[cormac]

"Figures. Predictable, really I suppose. It was an act of purest optimism to have posed the question in the first place."

I just got a call from the realtor. Our bid on the condo was rejected for the cash-only purchaser. This is the second time this particular condo, so perfectly suited to my needs, has passed through my fingers.

Is it bad that I hope escrow falls through on the other guy, and it goes back on the market at an even lower price? Is it bad that I would probably put out another offer?

I'm sorry this happened. Are you using the same realtor over and over again? I think after all the crap you've been through, you may want to look at using someone else. Up to you, of course. Isn't Courney one? I know a few SCA people are.

Good luck with whatever happens. I can't believe you are having so many problems. ::hugs::

Wow, I am sorry to hear this.

No, I don't think it bad of you to hope for either of those outcomes.

One bit of advice though...from having seen friends go though this process with unpleasant results *twice*...do not use a friend as your Realtor. This is a relationship best kept on business terms only, it seems.

Best of luck, from snowy AEthelmearc, t_C

It's not bad to think that. Good luck!
